Problems I can encounter creating the screenplay


  • One particular problem that comes to the forefront of the screenplay is the genre of the film. With the film being a film noir, the characters in the storyboard may be dressed appropriately, but he location will look too modern for my liking. One way I could is this problem would be to change the genre to Neo noir, like ‘Blade Runner’.
  • Another problem i have faced is with the script is the inclusion of the typical conventions of film noir, for example a voice over of the trouble protagonist. i have used a femme fatale and described shots to be with typical dark and wet weather, however the most challenging part of the script was to include a voiceover. A reason for this would be that I am finding it hard to include such a thing. The voice over is there to provide extra information for the passive audiences, however, being an active viewer, personally I’d like to use the voiceover in a way that allows the audience to be able to see the inner thoughts and feelings of the protagonist.

There is a sense of the narrative having an easy flow. There are no abrupt changes, the transitions from any changes in the storyline.

The steadiness of the camera is not what was expected, making the film look unprofessional. Also, there was a technical problem that caused one of the shots to be smaller than the fame, mak...

Winter’s bone Essay

How far does ‘Winter’s Bone’ rely upon an understanding of its social context? Refer to at least one sequence in detail     In the film, there is scene of a ‘showdown’ between Ree, Teardrop and the local authorities. The rule of thirds in the beginning of the sequence shows the two sides of the family in the car; Ree wants answers for her dad and teardrop wants to put it to bed. Regarding the social context of the film and a message that is portrayed throughout it is that there is no such thing as questions. If someone has disappeared they have disappeared. This is effective in the way that the rule of thirds helps the audience to truly visualise the dynamics of a Missouri family living in the Ozarks where the family loyalty is the strongest.     When flashing lights appear behind the car, Ree tells Teardrop to pull over and ‘see what he wants’. Teardrop becomes reluctant. This is because the Ozarks are a place where the men are dominant, what they say or in this...
